| Jinja2 |
| ~~~~~~ |
| |
| Jinja2 is a template engine written in pure Python. It provides a |
| `Django`_ inspired non-XML syntax but supports inline expressions and |
| an optional `sandboxed`_ environment. |
| |
| Nutshell |
| -------- |
| |
| Here a small example of a Jinja template:: |
| |
| {% extends 'base.html' %} |
| {% block title %}Memberlist{% endblock %} |
| {% block content %} |
| <ul> |
| {% for user in users %} |
| <li><a href="{{ user.url }}">{{ user.username }}</a></li> |
| {% endfor %} |
| </ul> |
| {% endblock %} |
| |
| Philosophy |
| ---------- |
| |
| Application logic is for the controller but don't try to make the life |
| for the template designer too hard by giving him too few functionality. |
